Blinking Led on ProASIC3 by use of CoreABC microcontroller

The next few lines are an introduction (if you like: a step-by-step guide, a tutorial) on how to use the CoreABC processor core on a ProASIC3 (A3PE-A3P-EVAL-BRD1) board. It shows you how to set up the core, how to copy/paste a working example program and how to use this program.

Enjoy it!

The first thing you have to do is start up the CoreConsole tool from ACTEL. You have to create a new project for this tutorial. In this project place 1 CoreABC block on the 'workspace'. After you have done this you have to make some settings: like there are: Connecting PCLK, NSYSRESET and IO to the Top level of your design. Another thing you have to do is configuring the softcore for using it with ProASIC3 FPGA's. (see also screenshots below).
